Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
gunjackmokujin This film has poignant moments, is not a simple movie superheroes, has a great storyline. The director showed great potential and hopefully made ​​a sequel, the hero has a great charisma and great potential for a sequel. The Chilean film is to be congratulated, highly recommend it! Marko Zarkor showed an excellent performance in this movie, so much so that later worked with Robert Rodriguez in "Machete Kills". The film also contains fight scenes that simulate the old films of Bruce-Lee, for a low budget production, is to be congratulated It also has a scene of romance that includes the music of David Bowie- "Life on Mars" - chosen at a specific time, which produces a perfect scene. Regardless, shows little scenes shaped HQ that translates the perfect feeling of the film: the instinct of superhero. Other than that, we also have a helper funny,also have a funny helper showing a moment of comedy to the film , summarizing the movie in one word : Exceptional
gladrius When you hear "superhero movie," its almost a given you think larger than life characters with over the top action scenes and heavy special effects. Sadly what I imagine will be lost on many potential viewers is that Mirageman is supposed to be what would happen if someone in the real world decided to become a superhero.Sure, there have been famous superheroes before whose only "power" has been knowing karate, but Mirageman does a great job setting up the realistic consequences of someone putting on a mask to fight crime. His martial arts are impressive but they're very real, with no camera tricks or special effects to make them look cooler. He doesn't have a police scanner or anything, so he has to rely on people emailing him their problems to find out where to be (which some people abuse, naturally).Mirageman is no god among men either; he gets surprised, beaten within an inch of his life and wonders what the hell made him think he could do this after a disastrous setback. But in the end, he realizes in a cynical world like ours one ordinary person can make a difference if they've got the courage to try.Mirageman isn't your average blockbuster superhero movie, but if you're willing to accept it for it differences, you won't be disappointed.
Worldofgrim I really really really enjoyed this movie. It carried an emotional & self effacing quality to it. From his love for his tragic brother to his meager attempts at heroic acts. This story tells a literally realistic way, in a comic book style of course, how one could be become a comic book vigilante. There were many levels & details to this film, his comical attempt to design his costume (with homage doodles) and the build up of the final design by his institutional brother's own nightmarish drawings that then ascend to the dream of a hero. I mean the intensity of it really worked for me. I fell for the feelings, the tragedy, the loss and hope.And it was funny! He had to stop, pull of his mask, and wipe the fog off the lenses! Subtle but awesome! Realistic setup as opposed to over written contrived setup comedy, you know, the kind you laugh it because it makes sense, not because it was setup via caricatures and over acted 2ndary characters.If not Tony Jaa, then gosh darn close! I could easily go from Tony to Marko and enjoy both thoroughly. And I'd take both over big Hollywood comic book heroes! Though I'd enjoy all just the same.
franugalde Zaror's last movie, Kiltro, and this one, are incredibly fun to watch; the best time I've ever have in the cinema was watching them. Mirageman, in any case, is not only fun (the comical depictions of "typical" Chilean stuff are great!), but the social and psychological part of it is moving. Zaror's character is lovable, you can't help to feel the rightness of his cause, in a much deeper way than other superheroes movies like Spiderman, cause he is real! The TV's abuse on Miragamen is also a good metaphor on how the Chilean media is. The only thing I hope is that they don't make a second part... Anyways, watching this movie is money well spent, super recommended :)
